Jaume Masià, 3rd
"I was riding at the limit. It’s been a tough race, but I tried my best and I'm happy to have achieved another podium. I was struggling on the brakes at the end, but I wanted to defend the 3rd position and I managed to do it. Once again, I just want to thank the team for their great and hard work"
Tatsuki Suzuki, 13th
"I wasn't competitive this weekend. I tried hard to get the best possible result today after struggling yesterday in qualifying. After all, I can be happy that I moved up 11 positions today, but we are not where we should be, and that is something we need to keep working on"
